Reaching Aerial heights
Is there any type of contraption you guys know of or have made up to easily reach the install point of silks/hammock/lyra on a tall ceiling other than a ladder?? I need to be able to attach and take down quickly instead of always moving around a ladder (plus not wanting to buy one and no where to keep it close by). I was thinking initially I could set up my pole and climb to reach lol but to do that every time I want to switch something would be annoying. I’m sure there’s got to be something that can just hold to lift and let the the carabiner latch on right (I hope)?

A couple studios I’ve been to use a pulley system and climbing rope.

Whoa! That’s commitment right there sounds tough to climb a rope I was hoping for more of a long stick with claw type of thing lol thanks for the suggestion 😄

No, climbing rope for rigging, the type mountain climbers use. They have it tied off to this metal structure, using boat type hithes. I don’t think they actually rig silks that way, but the lyra and trapeze.not only can they change out the toys, but a dancer can be lowered and raised. Assuming you aren’t doing and Big drops, silks can probably rig that way too.
